Speaker: David Ostrowsky , author of "Game Over or Game On?" Lives here in Natick; works for Winter Wyman as a web writer. Book is about the lives of professional athletes after they leave the game. One of the main questions is, "How do you go from making a lot of money to your next career?" Many of these athletes have the resources to give back to their communities; they tend to be younger and have more energy to devote. Some could be good candidates to get involved in Rotary.
